Information Processing and Cognitive Development Information processing is a perspective (approach) to the study of cognition and cognitive development in which the mind is likened to a computer. However‚ rather than focusing on mere input and output‚ psychologists who adhere to this approach place specific emphasis on the processes of cognitive development. Cognitive perspectives examine development in terms of mental processing. The two major views within this subject are cognitive developmental

Perceptual development: Cross cultural studies: Depth perception-Forest dwellers-Kenge saw a distant buffalo as an insect. This shows the lack of experience with depth cues (Turnbull). Pictorial cues-Hudson tested children in SA using 3D pictures (occlusion). European children by the end of primary school could use depth cues but the Bantu children couldn’t use depth cues well enough. These studies were carried out in 1960s and provide support for nurture approach-due to experience in different

INFORMATION PROCESSING Difference between data and Information Data is raw unprocessed information where as information is data that has been to processed to provide a meaningful value. Information processing is when a machine or processor interacts with the outside world and acts on the input it receives. ADVANTAGES OF INFORMATION PROCESSING * Tasks can be completed faster * Computers can process large amounts of data and generate error-free results. * Computing storage devices

Visual Information Processing Roland Browne PSYCH/640 December 16‚ 2013 Visual Information Processing The human brain is capable of perceiving and interpreting information or stimuli received through the sense organs (i.e.‚ eyes‚ ears‚ nose‚ mouth‚ and skin) (Weiten‚ 1998). This ability to perceive and interpret stimulus allows the human being to make meaningful sense of the world and environment around them. However‚ even as the human being is able to perceive and interpret stimuli information

The information processing theory approach to the study of cognitive development evolved out of the American experimental tradition in psychology. Developmental psychologists who adopt the information-processing perspective account for mental development in terms of maturation changes in basic components of a child’s mind. The theory is based on the idea that humans process the information they receive‚ rather than merely responding to stimuli. This perspective equates the mind to a computer‚ which

WHAT IS HUMAN INFORMATION PROCESSING (HIP)? People are active‚ dynamic systems capable of great flexibility in the ways they choose to handle and transform information. From the HIP perspective‚ the human mind is understood as a system that processes incoming information from the environment. HIP is an abstraction of the set of processes involved in several aspects of human behavior including problem solving and decision making in both everyday and professional environments. This system can

Information Processing Theory Angelica Soto 5/16/2010 AED/202 Professor Debra Elliott The information processing theory gives us a glance or an idea of the way people learn. It looks at the ways our mind processes any incoming information‚ and how it is processed and moved first into working memory and then into long-term memory. This theory also describes the way each of these component parts and the system linking them improves with time. Strong inclusion of the information processing
